Material Empire

The appearance of two young girls in the ranks of the delegation stunned a group of uncles and aunts. After hearing that these two girls are lecturers hired by Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory and all the expenses are self-raised, everyone's first reaction is that Qingfeng Factory is really too arrogant to be able to come up with such a It takes a lot of foreign exchange to do such a show.

Surprise is nothing but surprise, having these two girls in the team made the whole team much more lively. Qin Shan is introverted, and usually doesn't talk much, but Tranquility has seen some of the world with her father. After being a little shy at first, she quickly got acquainted with the officials and leaders of the regiment, and rushed to recognize her. There are more than a dozen who are goddaughters.

Taking Li Linguang, Liu Shuo and others abroad, Qin Hai has no psychological pressure. But he felt somewhat inappropriate to bring Tranquility and Qin Shan with him. When the delegation gathered in the capital, Qin Hai hurried to explain to Cui Hongchun, saying: "Western companies will invite some beautiful women to be commentators for this kind of exhibition, which can enhance the affinity of the company. We arrange quiet and The two of Qin Shan went abroad for this purpose."

Cui Hongchun just smiled slightly at that time, and nodded to express his acceptance of Qin Hai's explanation. But when there was no one else around, he quietly called Qin Hai to his side, and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Qin, tell me the truth, is this Qin Shan your sister? Also, that Xiao Ning, He Ning Chang Does length matter?"

With the Qingfeng factory becoming a provincial enterprise, Ning Zhongying's level has also been raised to the director level, but compared with Cui Hongchun, it is still far behind, and it is not the object of Cui Hongchun's attention at all. It was only because the export of rotary tillage blades from Qingfeng Factory was so eye-catching that Cui Hongchun remembered the name Ning Zhongying. Now knowing that the little girl brought by Qin Hai is named Tranquility, how could Cui Hongchun not contact Ning Zhongying?

"Minister Cui is wise..." Qin Hai replied with a timid smile, "Qin Shan is indeed my sister, and Tranquility is the daughter of Director Ning, but the matter of taking the two of them abroad has nothing to do with Director Ning .”

"They're already here, let them follow." Cui Hongchun also felt helpless towards Qin Hai's Meng Lang. He sighed and warned, "Don't make this matter public. If it gets out, it won't have a good impact."

"I know, I know, don't worry, I'll let them keep a low profile." Qin Hai promised firmly.

Cui Hongchun was just a kind of worry in preparation for a rainy day. In fact, except for Leng Yuming, Li Linguang and others, the rest of the delegation basically hadn't even heard the name Ning Zhongying, let alone wondered about the origin of Tranquility. In those days, it was quite normal for a few leading family members to be mixed in this kind of overseas delegation. This trip came to Brazil on the same plane as everyone, and there were also a few inexplicable middle-aged women. At first glance, they were not engaged in agricultural machinery. , who would have the time to ask them where they came from?

When they first heard that Qin Hai was going to take him abroad, Ning Jing and Qin Shan were both happy and surprised. They were both happy that they had the opportunity to go abroad to see the world, but they were also worried that they would not be able to cope with such and such things abroad. Along the way, the two girls were almost inseparable from Qin Hai. However, after passing through Madrid and arriving in Brazil, the restraint of the two of them has been eliminated a lot. Curiosity finally overcomes fear:

"Brother, look at the tall buildings of foreigners, much taller than those of Hongze!"

"Qin Hai, why are foreigners so rich? The streets are full of cars..."

"Xiao Jing, look quickly, there is a black man over there..."

"Shan'er, can you understand what is written on that signboard? It doesn't seem to be English..."

Sitting on the bus chartered by the embassy, ​​the two little girls felt overwhelmed by the sights on the streets of St. Paul. In fact, how many people in the car can keep calm. Among the more than 30 people in the delegation, less than 10 people have really experienced going abroad, and the rest are just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

The delegation stayed in a hotel booked by the embassy, ​​which was very close to the venue of the expo. Since this is an agricultural technology expo, the venue is not arranged in the exhibition center, but in a local farm, so that exhibitors can demonstrate the performance of various machinery on the spot. Since it is a farm, there is a certain distance to the city of St. Paul, which made the group members who came here with the purpose of tourism and shopping full of complaints.

Cui Hongchun knew that the composition of the delegation he brought was complicated, even though he was the deputy minister, there was nothing he could do about it. He discussed with Tian Yuzhong, and finally decided to arrange a car to send some people to visit the city of Sao Paulo, while he stayed and took the other people to the farm to set up an exhibition. The expo will be held the next day, so they are relatively late.

"Let's all stay and set up the exhibition."

The people brought by Qin Hai volunteered to stay and work. Except for Tranquility and Qin Shan, the others were here to work, so naturally they would not let Qin Hai lose the chain at this time. Although the two little girls were very playful, they also knew that Qin Hai had spent a lot of foreign exchange for taking them out. No matter how ignorant they were, they wouldn't clamor to go out to play at this moment.

Qin Hai nodded, and said to everyone: "If everyone can bear it, let's go to the exhibition with Minister Cui first, and leave the opportunity of shopping to others. Don't worry, everyone, I will find time to arrange for you to go to the market later. We will not miss any of the places we should play in.”

"Xiao Qin, you don't have to worry about us. We didn't come to Brazil to play. Work is important." Leng Yuming expressed his opinion on behalf of everyone.

Qin Hai pulled Li Linguang and Yue Kun out, and said to them: "Mr. Li, Mr. Yue, you two should not participate in the installation of the exhibition. You should follow the car of the embassy and go to the city together. "

Li Linguang was very disdainful of Qin Hai's arrangement. He stared and said, "Xiao Qin, what do you mean? Who are Lao Yue and I? Don't you understand? We are here, just like Lao Leng and the others. We are not interested in things like work or shopping.”

Qin Hai laughed and said, "Mr. Li, setting up an exhibition is all manual work. How can you and Mr. Yue do it? I invite you two to sell thermal spraying equipment. This matter is now Don't worry, no one will pay attention to this until the expo has been open for a few days. So, there is nothing for you two these days."

"That's not okay, we can help you guard the stall, anyway, we're not interested in shopping." Yue Kun shook his head like Li Linguang.

Qin Haidao: "I know the two of you will definitely not go shopping. It's rare for you to come out, so you don't want to go to the local university in Sao Paulo to communicate with them?"

"Looking for a university exchange?" Qin Hai's proposal made the two professors a little moved. Anhe Institute of Technology does not rank well in China, and opportunities for international exchanges are almost rare. Now that I have finally come to a foreign country, it would be very interesting if I could go to a local university and chat with my foreign counterparts.

"Yes, Sao Paulo University is very famous in the world, don't you two want to go for a walk?" Qin Hai asked with a smirk.

"This...I'm afraid other people won't be interested in visiting the university?" Li Linguang hesitated. Although he has never been abroad, he has read various academic journals in foreign languages. Naturally, he knows the status of the University of Sao Paulo and can name some of the scholars. If there is an opportunity, he really wants to find these scholars to communicate with.

Qin Haidao: "You don't need to act with them at all. They are here for tourism, and you are here for academic exchanges. I will talk to Counselor Tian later and ask him to help contact the University of Sao Paulo. After you arrive in the city , just take a car alone. In the past few days, you can live in downtown Sao Paulo, visit a few more universities, and promote our technology by the way, what do you think?"

Having said that, he took out a stack of dollars from his pocket, handed them to Li Linguang, and said, "These are your expenses for the past few days. Now that it's out, don't look too shabby, both of you. It's too shabby, but It's a disgrace to the country."

As an overseas delegation, each member can receive a few dollars of pocket money every day, which is enough to buy a hamburger on the street, and it is completely impossible to do anything else. Some people who are thinking about going abroad for shopping will exchange some US dollars through various means at home and bring them with them. Li Linguang and Yue Kun are both scholars in the ivory tower, how could they do such a thing, so they don't have any foreign exchange in their hands.

Qin Hai knew that it was difficult to move forward without money. Before leaving the country, he contacted Leonardo in Spain and asked him to exchange some foreign currency, which was delivered to Qin Hai while the delegation was transiting in Madrid. . This amount of foreign exchange is not small, enough for Qin Hai to do various things.

"How is this appropriate..." Li Linguang took the stack of dollars in embarrassment, counted them briefly, and couldn't help being startled: "This is 2,000 dollars! Xiao Qin, how did Lao Yue and I spend so much money?"

"Ms. Li, you and Mr. Yue are both university students anyway. Is it too much to carry 2,000 dollars? Your task these days is to fully carry out academic exchanges and make more friends. In the future, you may be It's useful." Qin Hai helped Li Linguang stuff the money into his pocket, and then told him with a smile.

Unable to withstand the temptation of academic exchange opportunities, Li Linguang and Yue Kun finally got into the car arranged by the embassy with half push and half push. Qin Hai told Tian Yuzhong through Cui Hongchun that the two professors wanted to go to the university for academic exchanges, and Tian Yuzhong really agreed to help them make contact. He has seen too many people who go abroad to play, but very few people seize the opportunity to go to school for academic activities. Tian Yuzhong is happy to facilitate this matter.

After sending Li Linguang and Yue Kun away, Qin Hai brought the rest of his side to Cui Hongchun and waited for Cui Hongchun's orders.
